In the heart of Western New York, a local hero is quietly making waves, turning discarded goods into a lifeline for the community. Meet Matthew Morgan, a compassionate individual on a mission to combat food waste and nourish those in need.
Matthew shared with Good Deeds America that he engages in a unique practice: dumpster diving at local grocery stores, particularly Aldi and Rite Aid, and then redistributing the rescued goods to community fridges. While we don't endorse dumpster diving due to safety concerns, Matthew's commitment to addressing the issue of food waste is undeniably commendable. His routine involves visiting multiple Aldi locations, rescuing fresh produce, and ensuring it finds a new home in local community fridges. Matthew goes the extra mile, not only restocking community fridges but also delivering food directly to individuals in need.
In a recent message to Good Deeds America, Matthew enthusiastically reported a significant haul from Rite Aid, exclaiming, "Hey! I just had a big haul from Rite Aid. Filled up the community pantry!" His dedication to minimizing food waste and maximizing impact is truly inspiring.
